Yahoo blogger Jeremy Zawodny asks his readers this question: "Where does your sense of accomplishment come from?":
"A few weeks ago it occurred to me that a sense of accomplishment is pretty important but it's not always obvious where it comes from...I don't think there's any single answer for everyone in every situation, but it's clear that there are a few common sources. And they seem to match the different roles people find themselves in at work."
He presents three different situations in which people tend to really shine: solo work, team work, and leadership. Of course, most of us find our sense of accomplishment in a combination of these; for instance, the freelance writer who also is on the school board, the engineer who volunteers at the fire department, etc.
